OUTGOING MONEY ORDERS GREATLY EXCEED INCOMING Exclusive of a business of approximately $50,000 in the sale of stamps, stamped envelopes, postal cards, etc., the Anaheim postoffice now is handling money orders to the amount of approximately $300,000 annually. Postmaster J. H. Whitaker indicated today. During the year ending Oct. 31, according to figures just compiled, 20,559 money orders were sold, representing a total of some $210,000 and 4963 cashed to the amount of say $52,000. At the normal increase of approximately 15 per cent annually, the business now is around $300,000. Whitaker has been granted all the extra temporary help he needs to take care of the holiday rush; and the added employees will be put on during the ten days before Christmas. The malls already are getting larger. The postmaster reminds patrons that it is now time to begin mailing Christmas mail to distant foreign destinations. Packages should be marked. "Don't Open Till Christmas." Depending upon the point in question, the last week or two cannot be included in many cases in the time figured, because of the pressure of local mail. Another point to remember is that as mails get heavier, it is necessary to mail earlier before train time. Whitaker requests persons and firms having quantities of mail not to wait and mail it all at once, but to send it to the post-office as soon as it is ready. Mail received early in the day makes for efficiency all around. "Shop Now, Mail Now!" is the legend which the department has adopted, and posters to that effect will be pasted up in public places. TO JOIN CAPITAL "DEB" SET SOON Miss Ruth Wallace. Miss Ruth Wallace, daughter of Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Wallace, will make an informational debut in Washington, D.C., society this winter.

BUTTEMPT TO FLEE DETENTION HOME CHICAGO, Nov. 14. Twenty-five girls in the juvenile detention home were under heavy guard today following their attempt during a riot in the night to escape with knotted sheets while four men in a motor car circled again and again outside the building. The men drove away when the uprising was squelched. The rebellion was led by Anna Bardunakl, "tiger girl," seized recently with a band of holdup men. It began when the girls poured upon a matron making her rounds and trussed her to a chair. The rebels had 15 sheets united into a rope that was to be dropped four stories to the ground. The girls were clustered about a window, opening when Angus Frew, the superintendent, chanced upon them. He called reinforcements who subdued the 25 girls and restored order. Police are searching for the four men observed outside in the automobile on the supposition they were former companions of the "tiger girl." SHOP EARLY DEATH SENTENCE GIVEN TO COVELL SALEM, Ore., Nov. 14. Arthur Covell, astrologer and mystic, convicted of first degree murder for plotting the death of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ebba Covell, today completed what will probably be his last journey. He arrived here from Coquille, Ore., accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Malecorn and is to be hanged on the guillows at the state penitentiary Dec. 21. Sentence of death was pronounced late yesterday by Judge John C. Kendall at Coquille. The crippled astrologer took the sentence as calmly as he did previous court proceedings, and apparently was resigned to his fate. Covell reiterated that it mattered little what happened to him, but that he was deeply concerned over the fate of Alton Covell, his nephew, who must answer a first degree murder charge later for the same crime. SHOP EARLY FRANCE PLANS TO OCCUPY HAMBURG 52 ENJOY HI-Y CLUB BANQUET Fifty-two fathers and sons sat around the banquet tables at the Y. M. C. A. last evening and enjoyed the fine program put on by the Hi-Y club for the annual father and son banquet. Each boy introduced his father and told what business he was engaged in and all took part. Herbert Drake was called on first and told of a few things that he thought a son might expect from his father. This was responded to by Rev. A. G. H. Bode who gave a few points on what a father might expect from his son. Rev. Tom Walker read, "A Prodical Father," by Godfrey W. Blake, after which Henry Hodge chairman of the evening, introduced George R. Stoner of Orange, who gave a splendid talk on father and son relationships. Mr. Stoner said that after 20 years' work in the high schools of the country, he had no set of rules to lay down for fathers and sons. He said this relationship was perfectly natural when we are in natural surroundings, and recommended that whenever possible the boys and fathers get into the mountains for a few days away from superficial city life. Mr. Stoner gave three qualities which he thought boys ought to strive for in their lives. The first was to seek after good health, and he gave Roonevelt as an example; second, to strive for personal achievement using Lincoln as an example; third, to use this personal achievement in service for others, using Paul as his example. The banquet was served by Mrs. Warren L. Ashleigh, and she was assisted by several ladies from the various churches of Anheim. Tuesday evening, Nov. 20, is Hi-Y faculty night, when members of the faculty will be guests of the Hi-Y club. Professor Cranston of Santa Ana will be the speaker for that evening. TRAFFIC HALTS DURING PRAYER SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14. While traffic was held up for blocks and drivers not knowing the cause of the delay frantically toothed their horns, Rev. A. R. Drathman knelt beside a street car beneath which was the body of a dying boy and administered the final rites. The lad, John S. Edwards, 13, dashed in front of the car on his John G. Kendall at Coquille. The crippled astrologer took the sentence as calmly as he did previous court proceedings, and apparently was resigned to his fate.

Shop Early—FRANCE PLANS TO OCCUPY HAMBURG ROME, Nov. 14. — France has notified the other allied powers of its intention to occupy Hamburg, Germany's greatest seaport, according to an unconfirmed report circulated in diplomatic circles today. Italy is opposed. France considered punitive measures in the Ruhr in retaliation for Germany's allowing the former crown prince to return, and rejecting the French demand for re-establishment of allied military control, but later turned to the idea of occupying Hamburg, the advises said. Italian official circles believe that Great Britain is opposed to the seizure of Hamburg. Shop Early—MOVIE "EXTRAS" STONE OFFICER LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14. — More than 400 motion picture "extras," infuriated when Constable Franklin of Sherman is said to have tried to haunt a crap game the actors were engaged in near his township, early today, staged a violent riot and stoned the officer, according to reports to the shopiff's office here. The melee is said to have started when Constable Franklin took two men who he thought were the ringleaders in the gambling and started to march them down the highway. As the pair were led away, a shower of stones and bottles poured down on the officer and more than a score of the "extras" overpowered the constable and freed his prisoners. Buy In Anaheim—FRUIT FOR DESSERT Don't forget that fresh fruit is an excellent dessert and one that requires slight preparation. Serve it daintily and it will always be acceptable. TRAFFIC HALTS DURING PRAYER SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14. — While traffic was held up for blocks and drivers not knowing the cause of the delay frantically toothed their horns, Rev. A. R. Drathman knelt beside a street car beneath which was the body of a dying boy and administered the final rites. The lad, John S. Edwards, 13, dashed in front of the car on his bicycle and was instantly crushed beneath it. The priest, passing in the crowd, realized the situation, elbowed his way to the side of the car, and prayed for the soul of the dying boy whose identity and religion were then unknown. Shop Early—MAY FACE SECOND MURDER CHARGE FRESNO, Nov. 14. — Decision soon is expected on the part of the prosecuting officers as to whether a charge of murder involving the death of her husband, Sestrak Potegian, will be lodged against Mrs. Eliza Potegian, who will go on trial Dec. 5 for the alleged murder by slow-acting poison of her step-daughter. Mrs. Potegian fainted in the courtroom immediately after she had entered a plea of not guilty to the charge against her. She recovered a half-hour later and was returned to her cell in the county jail. An autopsy performed on the body of the husband, which was exhumed, on orders of District Attorney George Lovejoy, disclosed, according to examining experts, that he probably died as a result of poison administered in his food. A coroner's jury will pass on the results of the autopsy, and if they find the evidence sufficient, District Attorney Lovejoy will have the second murder charge placed against the woman.
